Savonius VAWT 2 stage oil drum wind turbine. Video

My two stage Savonius oil drum VAWT fitted with LG Direct drive/smartdrive 3 phase 36 pole generator. Producing about 12v 1amp in this first test! :) Goto http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/FORUM1/forum_posts.asp?TID=889&PN=1 for full details.

@RudyDiddley Most hortizontal axis designs will be more efficient than the vertical axis designs, but there are exceptions when considering designs and wind speeds. As a rule of thumb, most HAWT's will produce more electricity than most VAWT's, under optimal conditions.

Hi, most ...
Hi, most interesting. A local farmer had suggested this system when I was asking him for parts to create a wind-powered electricity generator. How are things progressing? I rather imagined this to be more effieicient than simple plane/fan type prop blades. Where can I get detail on the alternator/genny whatever? PS am thinking of using smaller barrels due to restrictions. Well done anyway - good to know we can succeed despite academic assertions.

you could use it to ...
you could use it to charge batteries. Could produce about 100 watts in a strong wind. Enough to power a light bulb.

This is very nice work. Did you get the LG used (salvage) out of a washing machine? I am doing something similar and am looking for a low-cost generator. I would like to see how you built this (bearings, connection to the generator, etc.)

Self-made savonius
Self-made savonius This savonius has only one point of friction. The bearing taken from an old washing machine makes the balance a bit worse though. This vawt will turn in rather slow winds and the response to changes in wind speed is quite fast. It has no generator attached on it as you can see. Notice the great RPM-meter :D

Part 2 is now done and covers power generation: www.youtube.com Harness the wind for less than $100. DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style. Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy). Also, this turns well in a very light wind. Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes. Part 2 will cover power generation and connection to the battery bank.
Savonius wind turbine in higher winds
Savonius wind turbine in higher winds As seen in The Kansas City Star newspaper: www.kansascity.com Savonius wind turbine in gusts to 20 mph. Probably lower in this video though. Background noise is due to our close proximity to the interstate. The interstate isn't really that loud, but the microphone in the camera is very sensitive.
